Does the new 3.0 version of Cube Station still have the ability to match online multiplayer with players with similar solve times? I’m ~30s and on the old app I got matched with players I was competitive with. It seemed to adjust—when I first got the GAN i cube, my times were closer to ~55s...

If I find one—but I suspect, having thought of how a systematic error might have been creeping in, I’m going to find out that’s all it was. When I get home and can try it I’ll report back.

Hmm... I use a couple smart cubes that catch me if I make a scrambling error—and I almost never do. When I first started noticing this, I stopped, solved a cube completely and re-tried the scramble—cross solved—then solved F2L and retried the scramble—no cross solved. Then solved the cube and...

Apologies—I was posting to the “Puzzle Theory” forum because it’s a question I’ll wrestle with even if I stop using cross-solved scrambles. I’d just like to understand how this is possible, whether or not it’s useful. Sorry I wasn’t more clear about that.

I’ve been working on my 3x3x3 F2L, and the “cross solved” preset in ChaoTimer is helpful to me for that—sure, solving the cross is easy, but I’m focusing on F2L, so it saves a step. The weird thing is—while most sequences that it gives me work on either a fully-solved cube or an F2L-solved cube...

There’s an old thread mentioning this but it was never answered: On my Android phone, I paired https://cstimer.net/ to my Giiker Bluetooth cube. Cstimer.net can see my cube and show moves. I wanted to give it a try on one of the other Bluetooth-enabled websites, but it can’t find the Giiker...

Oh, and I know there are other methods with fewer algorithms to memorize, but I’m still seeing what my limits are with CFOP. After I feel like I’ve stopped making progress, I’ll start looking at other methods.

Hi, I’m Trey from NYC.... If you don’t care about my progress over the past year since I started solving, I’ll just tl;dr to say I solve traditional 3x3x3 using 4-Look CFOP, and I don’t plan to become competitive, because I have arthritis, so I don’t expect to ever get much below 30 seconds...
